Hey, great news on the perfect brown rice. And, you mentioned that the grains of rice were separate, not stuck together. And you mentioned it was delicious, and I bet it is. Thanks for sharing.

A few years ago, I ate lunch with an engineer from China. (In semiconductors, we have many talented engineers from all over the world, working at our plants, especially from China and India.)

His rice was all stuck together in a glob. I asked him if he liked his rice that way. He said yes. He didn't like American rice, where each grain is individual. I figured this guy had eaten more rice than I shall ever see, in my lifetime. So, if he likes his rice in a glob, then I can too. So now it's easy to make rice, since I like it in a glob.
